Engine starts easy on cold starts but will idle roughly (almost dying) after start up with lots of blue smoke coming out of the exhaust. It will idle and run smoother after a couple of minutes but will always shift irregularly...

So talked to Butch in person today and based on the symptoms it may be one of the 5 position switches atop the transmission that indicates the position of the 4wd shift lever.....but which of the 5 is it?......hmmmm

When I bring the '97 SpaceGear into reverse it will back up for a bit but as soon as I really try speed up the gear comes loose and does not engage again till the van has slowed down enough, then i can feel it re-engage the reverse gear. I just had all the axel oils replaced and tranny oil and it...

Matt Not normal to have the N and R lit at the same time. Possibly your transmission ECU. Could try disconnecting and cleaning the leads with a good electrical contact cleaner. All your other shifting is fine?

Poochike: Thanks for the info about the lights. All other shifting is fine. Will look...

Have folks here successfully located (and if necessary) refilled the refrigerant at the low pressure (low side) port for the L400 air conditioning? It would appear that this port is very much buried, and therefore difficult to access.

Yesterday, I finished picking up some supplies from building centres in the nearest city in my 1995 L400 Delica. I was making a left hand turn and kept my hand on the signal as I made the turn. As I finished the turn and the the signal lever let go, I felt it click in a different way. It then stuck...

On my 98 I had a "similar" problem. In a very tired state I tried to put my van into drive using the wiper stalk. Oops. I found out there are three or four different wiper mechanism you may have. I also had the three pieces of broken plastic. The important one was a little toggle you'll...

Just had my turbo head south on me. Does anybody know the upgrade or comparable part. I thought I read somewhere that a turbo from a Subaru would match up given the triangular at the adapter plate. Has anyone done this swap? Had success and has it been better in the long run?
Mine is a 94 L400 2.8...

Im a proud owner of a 96 L400 S1 LWB V6 (6G72). I'd like to know what I NEED to do, at a minimum, to replace the exhaust, or portions of the exhaust system. I know there are sensors in the exhaust system, potentially pre-and-post catalytic converter? Can anyone confirm? Is it possible to remove the...

Last post

search catalytic convertor. I put in a post in about cleaning out your cat. Or better still replace it, check out Rockauto for replacements. Of course it's illegal and dangerous with all the carbon monoxide and aldehydes a gas engine creates so I can't recommend running without a cat.

Taking it in for a complete interior detail and smoke treatment (vaccum & steam clean) tomorrow, followed by a couple ozone treatments at home. I'm throwing out all the extra...

Thanks - yah, I've been trying that and seems to be getting better. Got two "sugar bowls" with vinegar that clamp down closed with tight seal and leave them in there open at night and then just throw them into the drawer under the passenger seat for the day.

So after replacing the timing belt ,water pump and rear camshaft seals attempting to start the vehicle it won’t start. Thinking we had possibly set the timing belt incorrectly we removed the front cover assembly to double check the timing marks line up...

Why is this thread 2.0? Because in my L300 I installed a legendary one piece garage flooring where with one piece the floor wrapped up against the front engine block, walls, and even around the wheels wells which required some focused and commited angles cuts. To make it work I glued the floor down...

Update. I've definitely #winning Delica.ca the number of views on the L400 forum with this trhead. From zero to 2000 views in a couple months!

Still have a half roll of garage flooring if anyone in Lower Mainland want to give this a try!

I used to own a 96 4m40 with and did the "more power hour" and loved it.

I'm looking at possibly picking up a 1998 S2 diesel, I know the S2 is electronically controlled, but I don't know much about them. I know the mechanical injection is regarded as being more reliable, but do the S2...

Last post

I've got a S2 and I've been doing a little research on it. From what I see, injection pump rebuilds are more difficult and expensive on the S2. So far I haven't had any luck reading CEL/DTC data. I've tried a few expensive scan tools (snapon, etc). Apparently the "Evoscan" cable may work,...

I removed the panels on the sliding door and found that the rear latch has some sort of motor attached to it. I disconnected the lever from this motor and voila the door latches fine, power locks still seem to work.

I am usually all for deleting unnecessary electrical components...

Last post

Can you perhaps give me some insight as to how you removed the sliding door trim?
